Spanish and Estonian Takebase now speaks Spanish and Estonian. It follows your phone's language, or pick one in Settings → Language. Notifications, the widget and the Siri phrases come along. A record button that is always there A round record button floats over the library, your albums and the big player. One tap and the take is recording, after your count-in if you set one. Drag it to either side and it stays there. Over the big player it records the next take of that song. Home Screen widget and icon menu Add the Takebase widget to see what the band is listening to, play an album with one tap, or start a take. Long-press the app icon for Record a take and the three newest tracks. Loops without a seam Tap Full to loop the whole take, or drag the handles to its very ends. A loop that should be seamless now plays without a gap at the join. Schools Teachers can share Pro seats with a code or a link. Every student who joins gets Pro and an album with their teacher, and Seats shows each student's takes and minutes. Also • Storage counts only what you upload yourself, in any album • Shared albums show who is in them, and the list view shows full covers and the track count • Sort your albums, and search finds albums and people as well as tracks • Albums have a share button at the top • Your songs show up in iPhone search • Messages no longer hide behind the small player • A link opened inside Facebook or Instagram tells you to open it in Safari

Takebase in a browser Open takebase.studio/app on a laptop and your albums are there. Sign in, listen, comment at a timecode, write a track's notes, manage members and send a share link. On a phone the browser stays a listening app, and the rest is here. Record from the Action Button Set the Action Button to Takebase and a take starts recording without unlocking anything first. Comments stay where you are A long comment opens in place now instead of taking over the screen. The whole row lights when you press it, you can copy it on a long press, and you can read what people said on other takes of the same song. Also • Takes say how long ago they arrived, 4min ago or 3 days ago, instead of a date • A take's tempo, and its key when the app is sure of it, sit under the song title • A track's notes say who changed them last, and the band hears when they change • Every take says who uploaded it • Hold a track to reorder it, on any device • The import screen is built around the file you picked

Band and guests A share link now comes in two kinds. Band gives someone everything the album can do. Guest lets them listen, loop a section and play along with the click track, without adding or changing anything. Band members can change and remove guests. Choose what each person can do Tap a member in album settings to turn single things on or off for them: recording, comments or downloading. Take a recording with you Save a track or a take from its ⋯ menu to Files, send it over AirDrop, or open it in another app. Keeps playing after a call When a phone call, an alarm or Siri interrupts a take, it carries on by itself once they are done. Pulling out headphones still pauses it. In the car Drag the progress bar on the CarPlay screen to move through a track. Hold the back or forward button to sweep through it, hearing short bites as it goes. Also in this version • A track that is still uploading is a normal row: rename it or write its notes while the file goes up • Notes are on the track menu, so you can read a track's words without opening the player • An imported recording keeps the date it was recorded, not the day you imported it • Share links open on takebase.studio now, and older links still work • Scan the code on a Takebase flier with the Camera app to get Pro free for a while • Storage in Settings counts in hours, the same as the storage meter

Overdub — play along with a take Open a track, choose where to come in, and record over what is already there. Takebase captures your part against the take playing underneath, lines the two up, and plays them back together before you decide anything. Keep it and it becomes the track's newest take; bin it and go straight round again without leaving the sheet. A dial sets how loud your part sits against the take. Run past the end of the song and the recording carries on, so you can add an outro to a track that did not have one. Ask Siri for it Say the name of a track and Siri plays it, with the phone locked and the app closed. An album name works too and starts it from the top. "Play a random song on Takebase" and "surprise me" pick one for you, and "play what's new in Takebase" starts on the newest take the band has put up — the one request you cannot phrase as a name, because you do not know yet what it is called. In the car Takebase is on CarPlay: your albums, the tracks inside them, and what is playing now. Previous and next step between tracks on the car screen and on the lock screen, where they used to jump five seconds, and the artwork stays up when the track changes. On iPad The album on the left, the player on the right, both at once, instead of one covering the other. In the phone's own search Type a track or an album name into the home screen search and the band's recordings come up with everything else on your phone. Tap one and it plays. Notes Every track can hold its own words now, written and read on the player while you listen. Comments you can write properly in • Return breaks a line instead of sending, so a comment can be a whole verse • Bold, italic, headings, bullet and numbered lists, and links • A full-screen editor when the bar is too small for what you are saying • An hour to fix a typo — you can edit your own comment for an hour after leaving it Also in this version • A colour you put on a track or a take is the band's now, so everyone sees it • A share link starts with a code the person next to you can scan • An upload carries on after you leave the app • A finished mix draws a waveform you can read instead of a solid block • Album art fills the top of the track list • A new album lands at the top of your library • Sharing a link says "Copied", so you can see it worked • The recorder's bin sets you up to record again instead of closing the sheet

A click that follows the take. Add a click to a track and Takebase finds the beats in the recording itself, so it stays with the band through a tempo that drifts instead of marching past it. Turn it on from the ••• menu on a track or in the player. If it lands on the wrong grid — half time, double time, or a shuffle read as something else — one tap fixes it, and the beats it found are drawn on the waveform so you can see what it heard. A metronome while you record. Set the tempo with the arrows, by dragging the number, or by tapping it in time. The count-in is bars at that tempo now instead of seconds, so there is something to come in on. The waveform flashes on every click and a bar under it shows which beat you are on. Change the tempo or switch the click on and off in the middle of a take. Notifications, and they take you to the right place. When somebody comments on a take or adds a new one, your phone says so, and tapping it opens the track, scrolls to what they left and lights it up. Settings › Notifications turns them off altogether or mutes one album. Colour a track or a take. Five colours in the ••• menu and a coloured bar down the edge of the row, for whatever you use them to mean. They stay on your phone; nobody else in the band sees them. Put takes in the order you want. Sort takes from the player's ••• menu when a track has more than one. That order is the band's, so everybody sees it. Tap a take to play it, and double tap the one you are hearing to make it the track's default. Songs are called tracks now, everywhere. The library is a wall of covers. Square tiles, edge to edge, with the album's name on the artwork. Smaller things: the waveform has friction under your finger while you scrub or move a loop handle, a new track goes to the top of its album, the player opens the moment you tap a playing row instead of waiting to see if you tap again, a rename shows straight away, and you can write to us from Settings with the build number already in the subject.

Record straight into Takebase. There is a record row at the foot of every album and in the player's ••• menu, so an idea no longer has to go through Voice Memos first. Count yourself in at 1, 3 or 5, watch the trace as you play, and tap it to pause and carry on. The check keeps it, the bin throws it away. Loop a section to practise it. Press and hold the waveform and drag, and you get a region with handles you can move while the music keeps going. It turns round without a gap and without a click, because playback on iPhone is running on a new audio engine. Exit puts the take back the way it was. Drag the waveform and the sound follows your finger. Scrubbing a playing take now plays what is under your thumb instead of going quiet, so you can find the bar you meant by ear. Because press and hold now arms a loop, adding a comment is a double tap. Notifications. When somebody leaves a comment or adds a new take, the album hears about it, and a tap on the notification opens the song. Mute an album you would rather not hear from, or turn either kind off under Settings, Notifications. Move a song or a take. A song can go to another album or become takes of another song, and a take can join another song or become a song of its own. No audio moves, so it takes the same moment whatever the recording weighs. See who else is in an album. Faces under the album's name, and the Members list is open to everybody in the album now instead of only its owner. Smaller things: every take carries the date it was actually recorded, read out of the file, so a Voice Memo keeps the night it happened. Takes can be renamed. A song can be deleted from the big player. The album header lost its two buttons and gained a couple of songs' worth of room, every ••• menu was redrawn to one shape, and an album that used to fill up with spinners now finishes downloading.

Your library, in your order. Switch it to a list and drag albums where you want them. The order is yours; it doesn't move for anyone else in the band. Leave an album. If somebody shared an album with you, you can now leave it from the album's ••• menu, and everything you put in it goes with you. Deleting is immediate. Delete a song or an album and it's gone from the screen straight away instead of waiting on the server. Share links are three words now, and they last 24 hours. Start sharing again and you get a fresh one. Smaller things: swipe the player or the share sheet down to close it, signing out clears downloaded takes off the phone, and sharing in from AirDrop works properly.
